Aerojet Rocketdyne to expand Arkansas facility

Aerojet Rocketdyne said today it will expand its Arkansas facility, where it builds solid rocket motors and warheads.

"Aerojet Rocketdyne's currently envisioned expansion plans include investing in new infrastructure and creating more than 140 new jobs over the next three years," the company said. "The growth would bring total employment to approximately 900 employees at the facility."

The company recently relocated its Solid Rocket Motor Center of Excellence from Sacramento, CA, to Camden, AR, “resulting in growth for the Arkansas plant in Camden, which already produces more than 75,000 solid rocket motors annually,” Aerojet said.
